Chapter 230

After a long silence from Theo, Haillie spoke up again

“Theo, you know the score with our family. If you pull out your investment now, the Knotts family’s

business will go down the drain!”

Theo, standing on the open air balcony of the suite, lit up à cigarette and looked at the nervous Haille

“The Blanchet Corporation isn’t a charity. The problems in your family didn’t just pop up overnight. The

money the Blanchet Corporation has been investing in your family has been dwindling year after year

I’ve been turning a blind eye because we’ve been pals for years. But now, if you didn’t consider me a

friend, then there’s no reason for the Blanchet Corporation to continue helping the Knotts family”

Haillie shook her head frantically, trying to explain. “Theo, not How could you think that? When did I

ever stop considering you a friend? We’ve known each other since we were kids, you’re one of my

closest friends!”

Theo raised an eyebrow blowing out a puff of smoke, “Really? If we’re friends, why do you keep hurting

my wife?”

Haillie was extremely embarrassed but also somewhat defiant, “Theo, we are friends, but I don’t think I

have any ties to Ellinor. I admit I can’t stand her arrogance, so wanted to teach her a lesson

Theo cut her off, “My wife is my business. If you dare to mess with her, you’re messing with me!”

Theo’s words left Haillie dumbfounded

Then, she lowered her head timidly. “I’m sorry. Theo. I was wrong, and I won’t do it again. Please, for

the sake of our friendship, don’t pull out your investment.”

“Do you really think I’d still consider you a friend after you played around with my wife’s safety, Haillie?”

“Theo, are you really going to cut ties with me because of Ellinor? We’ve known each other for so many

years.”

With a burning cigarette between his fingers. Theo flicked off the ash indifferently, “Haillie, you better

pray my wife’s okay. If she feels anything wrong today, you and your family will pay a much heavier

price than the withdrawal of my investment”

Haillie was frozen in place

She had never seen Theo act so coldly towards her or any of their friends.

The way he addressed her as “Haillie” felt distant. It wasn’t how friends would address each other.

Theo was really pissedi

Haillie was in a panic, “Theo, we’ve known each other for so long: don’t be like this…”

Theo had said all he needed to say. He didn’t say anything more to Haillie but put out his cigarette and

walked towards the door, leaving the suite.

Even though this was Byran’s suite, Byran had already left. He didn’t want to stay there for too long to

avoid any misunderstandings, given the fact that they were alone. Watching Theo leave, Haillie felt

completely hopeless.

She knew Theo was a man of his word. The withdrawal of his investment was inevitable.

But there was one thing she just couldn’t stomach!

Thinking of this, Haillie clenched her teeth and yelled out to Theo’s retreating figure, “Theo, wait! I have

something else to say!”

Theo didn’t stop.

Seeing this, Haillie had no choice but to run up and block Theo’s path, demanding excitedly,

“Theo, I just want to ask you one more thing! Have you forgotten your promise to the Howard family

and Patricia? Or are you just like every other man, always chasing after

someone new?”
